Bing: The Easiet Way to Google since Yahoo!

This hard hit towards Microsoft's new search engine technology is a much deserved hit. Google has ruled with its searched technology and supporting apps like Docs, Reader, Maps, etc. Enjoy the clever banter that College Humor throws constantly about why Bing is just reinventing the wheel that Google already has in place.

Babyglow Temperature Sensing Clothing...Because You're Dumber than Your Newborn

The most gullible shopper on the planet has to be the first time parent. Well meaning consumers who at their core are scared senseless. Chris Ebejer knows this and has developed a line of Babyglow clothing for newborns meant to communicate changes in your baby's temperature -- the fabric turns white above 37-C or 98.6-F. Ebejer claims to have spent 6 years and more than a million dollars to perfect the fabric -- sure, even though similar, if not exactly the same tech has been around in novelty-Tees for the last 20 years. How much does a single bodysuit cost? Try £20 or about $33 per. Are you really going to trust this man with your treasure, be it carbon or gold?

Finally...Biltmore 2.0

I have finally got around to finish editting pictures from the Mother's Day weekend daytrip to the Biltmore Estate with Abby & Mom. It was fun. We received a nice gloomy gift of rain while we were walking around the inside for the tour, which added to the effect given off by the huge house. When we were finished with the inside, the rain cleared up for the usual humid afternoon. As usual, Abby was up to no good! Check out the pictures on flickr.
